Cylinder Head Surface
If the cylinder head is warped, it must be machined flat. If the warpage is extremely
severe, the head may need to be replaced. In some instances, it may be possible to
straighten a warped head enough to allow machining.
NOTE:
Any overhead valve cylinder head that shows excessive warpage should have the
camshaft bearing journals align bored after the cylinder head has been resurfaced.
CAUTION
Failure to align bore the camshaft bearing journals could result in severe engine damage
including but not limited to: valve and piston damage, connecting rod damage, camshaft
and/or crankshaft damage.
Cracks And Physical Damage
Certain cracks can be repaired in both cast iron and aluminum heads. For cast iron, a
tapered threaded insert is installed along the length of the crack. Aluminum cylinder heads
can also be repaired with the tapered inserts; however welding is the preferred method.
Some physical damage can be repaired through brazing or welding.
NOTE:
Cracks in cast-iron heads require furnace braising to create an adequate seal.
